Cheese on the chili was great at half time.

I have been on public land and watched private land being worked and roosters filling in where I was walking towards. Rare event, but fun when it occurs.

My dad killed a lot of pheasants in ND in the late 30s and early 40s before he went into the service. His family lived on canned pheasant for much of the year.

Snow geese are one of the more vulnerable species to bird flu. Likely a combination of their extremely high congregation rate and something genetic in the species. Canada geese, whitefront geese, and sandhill cranes are stage in large flocks, but seem a bit less susceptible. It seems like...

CRP accounts for only about 10% of the USDA payments via Farm Subsidy Payment Programs.

The CRP average $ is relatively consistent over the past 30ish years. The acres secured by that amount has likely diminished.

I am old enough to remember SB losses 2, 3, and 4. Dolphins-Shula, Steelers-Noll, and Raiders-Madden. Vikings faced some pretty good teams and head coaches in the 1970 super bowls. I would like to see the Bills play the Vikings ... that way one of the two biggest SB losers (both 0-4) will...

One of my girl dogs is named after the 2nd prettiest woman I had a one-night stand with in my early 20s ... just don't tell my wife that. The most gorgeous women on that not so long (OK - short list) list has met my wife a few times because she is a best friend of a good friend's wife. That...

In my hunting lifetime would say 1990 - 1994, 2005 - 2009, 2012 - 2019 (less one year in there somewhere) were the most productive years in the states that I hunt especially if I am noting birds moved. I would say the 2020s have been very good but for a variety of reasons not quite where it was...

Careful

Yes. It is amazing how short O/U are when set next to an auto. I just don’t think Santa is putting a 686 under my tree tonight. No fire in the fireplace just in case.

My Weatherby Orion (40 years or so) is a great 20ga gun. I believe it is SKB partnered production. I have killed quite a few ruffed grouse , woodcock and even some pheasants with it. Small gun but great in the woods. I am looking at a 12 ga. OU. Down to Franchi or Beretta. Most likely...

If you shoot FITASC one ounce loads is the max for a 12g load

Did James Madison U move up a level in 2021 just to get away from the Bison?

Dad was on the Bison team briefly after the Navy. He was a top ND HS player (RB) before his service. Knee went out and that was it. Probably ACL. He never said and they would not have been able to do much then anyways My daughter is a 3rd gen Bison grad. People forget they were a DII...

I never could stand those beeper collars so have never really used them. Get your friend the Garmin and GPS collar. Used one for 10 years now. Killed a lot of birds with dogs wearing these collars.

Yep. I switch to ice fishing for my outdoor recreation once the snow gets too deep. Then again two years ago ... deep snow hit before the ice was ready to hold it well. Water pushed through holes and cracks in the ice resulting in a formation of ice-water-snow. Wore rubber boots ice...

Who the heck got stuck in a cattail slough and how were they rescued ... snowmobile ?

A few comments: Agree with S16: Each area is different when it comes to hunting roosters in winter and the impact it has on that local population of birds. Interesting pheasants are the only upland (not including turkey) where only males are killed by hunters. If the hunting mortality is...
